Nets Break in for Iran Missile Attacks to Defend Biden, Cut Iran Slack
On Tuesday afternoon, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each interrupted regular programming of daytime talk shows, game shows, and soap operas for coverage of Iran’s massive onslaught of missile attacks against Israel, particularly in the Tel Aviv metro area. While the networks largely behaved and stuck to the facts and the fear being inflicted on innocent Israelis, there were…
Amanpour Omits Key Details On Ceasefire Proposal As Iran Bombs Israel
Foreign policy reporting can be tricky. You have to explain what bad people think in an honest way without coming across like you endorse their position. Christiane Amanpour failed in this on Tuesday’s CNN News Central as she omitted key facts related to a recent ceasefire proposal that she claimed could have prevented Iran’s salvo of 180 ballistic missiles on Israel.
CBS, NBC Whack Blinken From Left, Blame Israel for Middle East Turmoil
To mark this week’s United Nations General Assembly, Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared Wednesday morning on ABC, CBS, and NBC to discuss the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East with Israel facing attacks from nearly every direction from Hamas in the south to Lebanon’s Hezbollah in the north. Of course, the liberal media — specifically NBC’s Today and some on CBS Mornings…
After 11 Months Of Rocket Fire, Stewart Asks 'What Did Lebanon Do?'
Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart is not a military or foreign policy genius, but he does play on TV. After 11 months of rocket fire from Hezbollah that has seen 60,000 Israelis become refugees in their own country, Israel has started to hit Hezbollah hard in recent days, leading Stewart to ask, “What did Lebanon do?” on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show.
NBC’s Melvin, John Brennan SLAM Israel for Operation Beep, Beep, Boom
Having been conveniently reinstalled on the NBC/MSNBC payroll in time for the 2024 presidential election stretch run, Deep State scion/former CIA Director John Brennan joined Thursday’s Today to tag-team with co-host Craig Melvin to smear Israel for their unacceptable “form of warfare” with its “fire and forget” exploding pagers and walkie talkie operations against Hezbollah in…
NABJ Skips Fact-Checks, Asks Harris How GOP 'Weaponized' Her Laughing
When Donald Trump sat down with the National Association of Black Journalists on July 31, the tone was combative and those interviewing him insisted on doing live fact-checking. On Tuesday, it was Kamala Harris’s turn for a much softer interview that saw the on-the-spot fact-checking go away despite multiple factually incorrect statements and be replaced with questions about how the GOP has "…
The Evil of Cowardice in Gaza
On Saturday night, the Israeli military made a macabre and horrifying discovery: the slain bodies of six hostages taken by Hamas, including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin. All six hostages had been shot point-blank in the head some 48-72 hours prior, presumably upon the approach of IDF soldiers; Hamas terrorists chose to murder the hostages they had held in terror tunnels for over 300…
Don’t Blame Bibi for What Happened to the Hostages
President Biden says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to win the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza by the terrorist group Hamas. As the saying goes “with friends like these, who needs enemies?” In his first statement since the recovery of six hostages murdered by Hamas, including American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Netanyahu refused all entreaties…
WH Briefing Returns With DOOZY from DOOCY on Kamala Code-Switching
Tuesday marked the first White House press briefing in 21 days and, along with the fact that Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre still found a way to show up nearly an hour late (by starting a 2:30 p.m. briefing at 3:12 p.m.), Fox’s Peter Doocy returned with a stunning doozy by asking about President Biden attacking Israel and Vice President Kamala Harris code-switching between audiences. Along…
Nets Blame Netanyahu as Blocking Ceasefire, Why Hostages Were Murdered
On Tuesday morning, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all stacked the deck against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and his government, heavily pinning the blame for the deaths (read: executions) of six hostages on him and what they spun as his refusal to accept a ceasefire deal, not Hamas for refusing to accept any number of U.S.-brokered deals or for starting the war on October 7…
Let’s Stop Negotiating With Terrorists
My organization, CURE, Center for Urban Renewal and Education, organized a delegation of 20 prominent pastors to travel to Israel to host a press conference on Oct. 7 as a show of support for and solidarity with Israelis on the one-year anniversary of the horrendous, savage terrorist attack that took place. A few days ago, we were notified by Delta Airlines that our flight was canceled.
Colbert Laments Pelosi's 'Unsatisfying' Answer To Anti-Israel Hecklers
CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s interview with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was derailed late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning on night two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago by anti-Israel hecklers. The Late Show host struggled as he sought to control the unruly behavior, but also tried to appease them by noting Pelosi’s answers were “unsatisfying to some people” as he…
Taxpayer-Funded PBS Airs Pro-Hamas Propaganda With Your Money
PBS “special correspondent” Simona Foltyn, who covers the Middle East, appeared on Tuesday’s edition of the taxpayer-funded PBS News Hour to make the case for the anti-Jewish terrorist group Hamas, after Israel’s bravura assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas terrorist chief. Anchor Amna Nawaz introduced the report from Lebanon by making the familiar fatalist argument that there’s no…
Bibi Netanyahu: Profile in Courage
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed this past week, at the invitation of House Speaker Mike Johnson, a joint session of Congress. The prime minister’s job that night was to make clear to the Congress, to the nation and to the world the “what” and “why” of Israel’s operation in Gaza, following the murderous attack by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023, and why Americans should…
